While updating whonix (both gw and ws) this warning appeared:
*** OMINOUS WARNING ***: /etc/hosts is not linked to either hosts.whonix or hosts.whonix-orig

What is the right way to link hosts?

You should go to https://forums.whonix.org/ for such question, since there are more experts on this.

Seems like it’s qubes related;

Only saw this in Qubes-Whonix. Possibly the /etc/qubes/protected-files.d mechanism is broken. I.e. /etc/qubes/protected-files.d/qubes-whonix.conf not being honored. Something removed the symlink.
